Red and Aqua Tilda With Hawaiian Flower

The Tilda with Hawaiian Flower image from Magnolia was very kindly donated to me by the lovely, talented Teresa/Craftingallday.

The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink and coloured with Copic sketch markers:
  • Hair: E43, E44, E49
  • Skin: E00, E21, E51, R02, R20
  • Dress; B00, BG10, BG11
  • Flower: B00, BG10, BG11, R32, R37
  • Leaves; YG13, YG95, E44
  • Butterflies: R32, R37, R39
  • Socks: BG10
  • Lace Frills: BG10
  • Shoes: B00, BG10, BG11, E44
Tilda's cheeks were then highlighted with the Papermania Snow White gel pen.

Once again, large parts of this image were coloured using the Transfer Technique as discovered in the Copic Colouring Guide, using both the lighter shades and the blender pen.

The image panel was then trimmed and the corners rounded with the large XCut corner rounder punch. This was then matted onto a panel of red card die cut using a Labels 8 Nestabilities die and embossed with the Indentz Ellipse embossing folder.

A strip of the blue floral border paper from the Prima Madeline paper pad was matted onto a strip of the red card that was punched with the Martha Stewart Doilly Lace punch. A length of aqua grosgrain ribbon was wrapped around the strip and a shorter piece was knotted to the right.

This strip was then attached across a panel of the butterflies paper from the same paper pad and a Marianne Creatables leaf flourish die cut, also cut from the red card, was tucked under the ribbon.

The image panel was then added over the ribbon.

A large pale blue pearl brad from Papermania was added in the top right corner.

The circle sentiment, from Aud Designs, was stamped using Memento Rhubarb Stalk dye ink and coloured with Copic markers:
  • R32, R37, BG10, BG11, B00, YG13, YG95

This was then die cut using a classic circle Nestabilities die and matted onto a red classic scalloped circle.
Once the card was fully assembled, the circle sentiment and the butterflies in the image were then highlighted using Ranger Glossy Accents.

I also decorated the inside of the card using a strip of the border paper matted onto a strip punched with the Doilly Lace punch. The sentiment stamp, from the Papermania Clare Curd Sentiments stamp set, was stamped using the Rhubarb Stalk ink.

Lilac, Blue and Cream Scribble Daisies Anniversary

Here is the anniversary card that I made for my matey Teresa and her hubby Ken. I wanted to go with something a bit more summery so opted for the lilac colour tones.


Three panels were cut from white card and stamped with the Scribble Daisy stamp from the Papermania Hampstead Collection Sketch Flower stamp set using Brilliance Pearlescent Purple pigment ink. The panels were then matted onto blue paper and scalloped lilac squares die cut using a Nestabilities die.

A strip of the mottled blue paper from the HOTP Floral Ultimate Cardmaker's Creative Pack was matted onto the lilac card and across a panel of the lilac, blue and cream weave patterned paper from the same paper pad. This was then punched with the Martha Stewart Scallop Dot border punch and matted onto the blue paper and lilac card.

Detail of image and sentiment
The 'Togetherness' sentiment, from the Making Memories Express It stamp set, was stamped using the Pearlescent Purple ink and matted onto the blue and lilac. Once the card was assembled, the lilac pearls from the Kort and Godt pastels set were added between the image panels. It seemed only fair that I used the pearls on Teresa's card as she very kindly split a couple of the sets with me!!

Pink, Black and Beige Kerry Jo Umbrella Girl Wallet Card



Here is a wallet card I made for a good friend over on the docrafts forum - Teresa has just got a DT post on the Here Come The Boys blog challenge so I sent her some male images for her to use. I look forward to seeing what she does with the images.


The Kerry Jo image, available from Debbi Moore, was stamped using Versafine Onyx Black and watercoloured using the Whispers Brushstroke markers and highlighted with Anita's 3D Gloss. This was matted onto pink and black card.

A panel of the beige and black floral paper from the Dovecraft Designer Amethyst Floral paper pack was matted onto pink card and a length of black organza ribbon was tied around this panel. The image panel was then attached over the ribbon.

The sentiment circle, from the Papermania Just For You stamp set, was stamped using the Onyx Black ink and matted with pink and black circles cut using standard and scalloped circle Nestabilities dies.

Anita's 3D Gloss was then added over the top of the sentiment to make a glossy tile.

Burgundy and Olive Leanne Ellis Dreamer

This is the card that I made for the lovely and very talented Teresa for her birthday. I know that she has received this now so am free to upload it.


The beautiful Dreamer image, by Leanne Ellis for Sugar Nellie, was kindly donated to me last year by Alex K as a birthday gift. I love these images and they are on my ever-growing wish list.
The image was coloured using Copic Sketch markers:
  • Hair: E13, E35, Y08
  • Skin: E00, E21, E51
  • Jacket: E57, E39, RV21
  • Eyes/Wings: YG17, Y08, N3
  • Flowers: V12, RV21, R20, BV31
  • Outline: V12, BV31, N3
 and matted onto the Dauphin paper from the Basic Grey Eva paper pad.

A strip of the Aristocrat paper was matted onto the Dauphin paper and a length of Anita's olive green grosgrain ribbon was added around it. This was then matted across a panel of the Versailles paper from the same paper pad.

The sentiment panel was created by stamping onto white card using the 'Happy' and 'Birthday' stamps from the Elzybells Swirly Sentiments stamp set using Versafine Onyx Black archival pigment ink and matted onto the Dauphin paper. A green Prima paper flower was coloured using Copic markers:
  • Prima flower: YG17, Y08, E57, R39, N3
 and a large dusky pink Papermania brad was added to the centre and attached to the panel.
 
Highlights were added to the image using the Papermania Snow White gel pen.

Here are the challenges that I shall be entering this card into:
